Got To Be True lyrics

Well normally at this point, you`d hear me sing
And I`d be doin` that acoustic guitar thing
So by now you`re probably wondring what`s going on
Cause this is really startin to sound like one of those rap songs
Well let me tell ya what the boy`s up to
You see I like rap music and the beat box groove
And sometimes I gotta admit I close all the doors
And wave my arms around and I pace the floor
But then I crack up laughing, I gotta stop
And just face the facts the boy don`t hip hop
You see I grew up in a state where the grass is blue
So if it`s gonna be believeable its got to b tru

It`s got to b tru I`ve gotta be living what I say I believe
It`s got to b tru even when nobody but Jesus is watching me
It`s got to b tru every single minute of every day
If anybody`s ever gonna look at me and say hey it`s got to b tru

You hear me saying that it`s got to b tru
And now my homeboy Toby wants to talk to you

True check it out I got a next door neighbor
And I can tell he`s been watchin my behavior
Yo he heard that I`m a Christian guy
He wants to know if that`s the truth or a lie
He`s got a list of reasons not to believe
Like doubt, dissolution, hypocricy
It`s gonna take some living proof to break through those walls
Yea it`s got to b tru if he`ll believe it at all

It`s got to b tru I`ve gotta be living what I say I believe
It`s got to b tru even when nobody but Jesus is watching me
It`s got to b tru every single minute of every day
If anybody`s ever gonna look at me and say hey it`s got to b tru

From the T to the R to the U to the E
G-O-T-T-O-B-T-R-U
From the T to the R to the U to the E
Ya got to be true to what you say you believe
G-O-T-T-O-B-T-R-U
It`s got to b tru
I gotta let the light of Jesus` love come shinin thru oh, yeah

It`s got to b tru I`ve gotta be living what I say I believe
It`s got to b tru even when nobody but Jesus is watching me
It`s got to b tru every single minute of every day
If anybody`s ever gonna look at me and say hey
it`s got to b, it`s got to b
Got to b tru I`ve gotta be living what I say I believe
It`s got to b tru even when nobody but Jesus is watching me
It`s got to b tru every single minute of every day
If anybody`s ever gonna look at me and say hey
Got to b
Got to b
Got to b tru

G-O-T-T-O-B-T-R-U [repeat til fade]
